Asian Heritage Pupils, PE and Language

Investigated whether physical education (PE) classes could contribute to verbal skill development among limited English speaking Asian students. Surveys and interviews conducted at inner city English schools indicated that many PE teachers already planned lessons with such learning in mind, and relevant policies were well-developed. Some teachers did not understand or agree with promoting language development in PE. Some students used PE as an opportunity to use derogatory language. (SM)
